Stepped cabinetry

An Art Deco cabinet with a stepped silhouette. Its front elevation is symmetrical: the central part is the highest, descending to both sides with two to three equally wide steps, like a miniature high-rise building; the top surface of each step is horizontal and can hold objects. The cabinet doors feature radially veneered wood patterns, with brass inlays along the dividing lines. The base is a solid lacquered volume. Avoid: asymmetrical steps on the sides, making the setbacks into curved gradients, using traditional cabinets with carvings and moldings, making the cabinet overly tall and slender.

一件輪廓呈階梯狀的裝飾藝術櫃體。它的正立面是對稱的:中央的部分最高,向兩側以兩到三階等寬的退縮降下來,像一座微型的高樓;每一階的頂面是水平的,可以放東西。門片上有放射拼貼的木皮圖案,分割線嵌著黃銅。基座是一道髹漆的實心量體。避免:讓兩側的階梯不對稱、把退縮做成圓弧的漸變、使用有雕花與線板的傳統櫃體、讓櫃體的比例過於高瘦。
